Yesterday, Thursday, May 30, we told you EE had unveiled a selection of new 30-day SIM-only plans, which start at £23 per month and offer users unlimited texts, unlimited calls, and limited access to the carrier’s 4G LTE network (starting with 500MB per month, and rising to a maximum of 20GB). The network itself originally launched in October 2012, and has grown at an impressive rate since.

Across the pond, both AT&T and Verizon have been expanding their respective LTE networks, also, with the latter carrier’s 4G service presently available in 497 markets and covering 90 percent of the U.S. population.
